Not sure which charger is right for you? We are happy to talk through your options when we come out for a look at your panel.
Is your home ready for an EV charger?
Not every home can plug in a Level 2 charger without some electrical work first, and that's the most important question to answer before you buy one.
What we check
- Your panel's total capacity and how much of it is already in use
- The distance from your panel to where the charger will be mounted
- Whether your panel is a type we can safely work with (older Zinsco or Federal Pacific panels often need attention first)
Older San Diego homes
A lot of the houses we work on across San Diego County have panels installed decades ago, often at 100 or 200 amps.
You may not need a full panel upgrade. Before we install anything, we assess whether your panel has room for a dedicated charger circuit, or whether a panel upgrade or an Electric Vehicle Energy Management System (EVEMS) is the better path.
This is licensed electrician work, not a general handyman job, we handle the permits and inspections so it's done right and stays code compliant.
Every home is different. We explain what's involved upfront, so you know what to expect before you buy a charger. C10 LIC# 674638.

What you need to know
Panel capacity
Most older San Diego homes have 100-200 amp panels. Before installation we assess your home's electrical capacity to ensure your charger integrates safely and correctly.
No panel room? No problem.
An Electric Vehicle Energy Management System (EVEMS) can allow EV charger installation without a full panel upgrade. This solution isn't for everyone, let's talk through your specific situation.
Does your panel have the power?
Before buying an EV, read our guide on what your electrical panel needs to support home charging.

Honest answers from San Diego's EV charger installation experts.
What is a Level 2 charger and do I need one?
Level 2 chargers use 240V power, the same as your dryer or oven, and charge your EV significantly faster than a standard wall outlet. Most EV owners find a Level 2 charger essential for daily home charging. If you drive regularly and want to wake up to a full charge every morning, a Level 2 install is the right move.
How long does installation take?
Most residential Level 2 EV charger installations are completed in a single day. The timeline depends on your home's electrical setup, panel capacity, and where you want the charger located. We assess everything upfront so there are no surprises on installation day.
How do I know if my panel can handle an EV charger?
That's exactly what we figure out before anything else. A Level 2 charger typically requires a dedicated 50-amp circuit, and depending on your panel's age and current load, you may have plenty of room or you may need an upgrade. Some homes can also use an Electric Vehicle Energy Management System (EVEMS) which allows charger installation without a full panel upgrade. We assess your specific situation upfront so you know exactly what's involved before we start.
